index card. James Pierce (1900-1983) was an All-American football center at
Indiana U. After graduation, he moved to California to coach football at
Glendale High School, where one of his players would become a film star
under the name of John Wayne. He attended a life-changing party at the
home of Tarzan novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs, who asked him to star in
the next Tarzan movie. Accepting the Tarzan role required Pierce to give up
his projected lead role in the movie Wings, which instead boosted a young
Gary Cooper to stardom. Pierce never starred in another movie, although he and
Edgar Rice Burrough's daughter Joan, whom he married in 1928, were the
serialized radio voices of Tarzan and Jane (1932-1934). Pierce played supporting
roles in many films through 1951, often as a Western bad guy. In his later years
he searched in vain for a copy of Tarzan and the Golden Lion. One was
found only after his death. Fine condition.
